Expect over 300 beers, food, live music and more this June
Local brewers Black Lodge Brewery will once again host one of the city’s biggest summer experiences, the Craft Beer Expo, this June.
Taking place on Friday 12 and Saturday 13 June, the festival will feature over 300 beers from 35 of the UK’s finest independent breweries, alongside food, coffee, cocktails, and live music set across the Baltic Triangle.
Paul Seiffer, founder of Black Lodge Brewery, said: “We’ve been running the Craft Beer Expo for 13 years and this year also marks Black Lodge’s tenth birthday. We’re so grateful to everyone who has supported us and come back each year. With so many fantastic independent breweries involved, we’re excited to welcome both loyal visitors and some new faces.”
Craft beer fans can expect to enjoy headline favourites like Northern Monk, Polly’s Brew Co, Vault City Brewing, and Verdant Brewing, alongside local and regional independents including Colbier, Bayonet Brewing, Spookton Brew Co, and many more.
But it's not just beer you can indulge in - guests can also enjoy cocktails, ciders and coffees from bars including Cornhill Coffee & Espresso Martinis, Inn Cider Trading, Rita’s Margaritas and Subrosa, as well as Craft Beer Expo’s largest food offering to date with traders including Damn Fine Burger Co, Saffa Soul, Dough Bros Pizza, Aunty’s Kitchen, and Burner Kitchen.
Live music will be provided by Matsuri DJs across indoor and outdoor spaces, giving attendees a full day experience in Liverpool’s creative Baltic Triangle.
Paul added: “This year we wanted to make the weekend feel even more special. With Black Lodge turning ten, we’ve expanded the food and drinks, added more space to explore, and included an extra session on Friday so people can really take their time discovering everything on offer. The Craft Beer Expo is a celebration of independents, by the independents, and we can’t wait to share the full experience with the city.”
